Hi All,
In another of Kipling’s early poems , “A Prologue”, he asks for mercy if there are faults in the first performance of the Simla season in a brand-new theatre.
One of the faults may be “where the hare’s foot trenches on the crow’s”. “Trenches” presumably means “encroaches on”, and a hare is proverbial for speed. But can any of you elucidate the whole phrase please?
Regards - Philip Holberton
